The Hôtel La Marébaudière hosts seminars, training days and meetings for up to 100 people in theater layout, with 41 bedrooms for participants who stay overnight. The hotel is at 4 rue Aristide Briand in Vannes, the capital of the Morbihan department in southern Brittany, about 500 meters from the town center.
Seminars and company events
The hotel has a set of equipped meeting rooms named after places in the Gulf of Morbihan. The two main rooms, Île aux Moines and Gavrinis, each take up to 45 people in theater layout or 22 around a U-shaped table. Opened into one space called Morbihan, they form a room of 92 square meters for up to 100 people in theater layout or 36 in a U-shape, the right size for a company plenary or a regional sales meeting. The smaller Île d'Arz room suits a committee or a breakout group.
The rooms are equipped with 65-inch screens, videoconferencing systems, ClickShare wireless presentation and flipcharts, so presenters can share a laptop screen without cables and remote colleagues can join. Coffee is included with every room booking. The setup works for one-day meetings as well as residential seminars of two or three days, since the bedrooms are upstairs.
Vannes is a good base for team activities around the Gulf of Morbihan, whose islands give their names to the rooms, and the walled old town is close by for an evening walk with the group.
